Mediocre means average. If the average developer can solve the problem in java maybe your favorite language isn't needed. The fact that a language has low adoption means it is missing features or late to a crowded market.

It may even have "better" features, but not the right features. (A Formula 1 race car has lots more features than my Toyota Camry. I wouldn't drive it to the office, though. Unsurprisingly, Camrys have higher market share that Formula 1 cars.)
- TheSpiceIsLife 7y agoI don't know that an F1 car does have more features. Your Camry probably has: 1) cruise control; 2) electric windows; 3) windows!; 4) airbags; 5) air conditioning and heating; 6) indicators; 7) headlights; 8) sound system; 9); 10) quiet exhaust; 11) way better pollution control; 12) way better mileage; 13) seats 5......
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoBut the F1 racer has far better top speed, better acceleration, better braking, better handling, better collision protection, better aerodynamics (and active aerodynamics), far more internal sensors, telemetry of those sensors, and is far better for impressing girls.
- TheSpiceIsLife 7y agoHaha, sure. Though ride quality would be appalling, and there's nowhere to put the girls.
